WARRIORS forward, Ovidy Karuru, lost his mother on Monday evening.
He said the family had lost its pillar of strength.
“She wasn’t feeling well and, eventually, passed on. It hurts because she was a loving person,” he told H-Metro.
He later on posted on his WhatsApp status about his mother.
“My mother, my strength, my everything, the world will never be the same without you.
“God has decided to let you rest from all the troubles of this world, from all those who kept on wronging you but kept on smiling at them because of the love you had for everyone.”
He added:
“She loved them all even if they kept on breaking her heart but she never stopped loving them.
“I might be far from home but she used to call me to tell me what they say about her.
“Why do we say when God blessed someone we start hating and say all sort of things?
“WHY, WHY, WHY?
“I know everything that my mother went through but it’s all in God’s hands. God gave her the rest that she couldn’t get here on earth but it’s painful.
“GOD PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH TO ACCEPT,” read the post.
Karuru was in South Africa, when he received the heart-breaking news, and was expected to have arrived home yesterday for the funeral.
The Zimbabwe international midfielder is now based at Saudi Arabia club Al Shoala.
His contract is set to expire on June 30, next year.
Ironically, Karuru has been posting messages, especially on Facebook, of his younger days when he was just breaking into professional football, with Masvingo United.
He appears to have been going down memory lane, to the days when he first exploded on the big scene, in 2007.
The midfielder has been one of the best performing Warriors of his generation.
